It's 7kph (4mph) leeway here in the NT.
After that, it's bend over boy and scratch out a Gregory Peck. (cheque)

Not worth fighting it in court as some have already tried.
The cameras are tested for accuracy and certified regularly so there's no arguments about it.

Wow, that's pretty crazy. On a good day (no rain, dry raods, little traffic) I'll do 10-15 over, just so I'm "moving" to other motorists. I don't slow down when I see radar cops, unless there's a wall of cars in front of me that did.

Last night...went to a friends and welded up a hole in the bottom of one muffler, and ground it smooth.
Doesn't look so pretty but it's hardly visible.

It's nice to be able to keep the Stockers on the bike as long as you can..I like fixing my O.E. mufflers,they don't make 'em anymore.

Fixed the flat and poked two more holes in the tube when mounting - can you say moron?

sanding the 550 for return to factory colors

Cleaned up the 550 and went for a ride in the Hill Country...

Put on the new Hagons, then promptly went on a ride with a friend and ran out of gas.

A minor inconvenience, and great to be out in good weather again!

Changed the oil on XL250s. Rode it around a bit more to break in the new piston.
Decided it needs a new clutch. Oh well.

Since it was such damn fine day I fired up the K5 and went for a ride to celebrate DST.
Stopped for Thai food on the way home.

Didn't see Steve-o!

Yesterday I helped my dad install a new exhaust on the K2. It's a nos mc enterprises brand 4-2. It took a long time to figure out what went where since there were no directions.

I pulled the head cover off my cb500 to tighten the head bolts. I just rebuilt the entire bike and placed a new head gasket in since it was leaking oil out of it. Took it out yesterday for a ride and it leaked oil again. Even worse this time. When I checked the head bolts though with a torque wrench they were already tighter than the specified value in the manual. So I loosened the bolts up and retorqued then to spec.

Dont want to thread jack, but could too tight wad bolts cause the oil leak around the gasket?

Installed clip-ons. You can read about it in my build thread:

Started to clean and polish my old 836 for its new home. It is going in a 1978 cb750f which is going to remain mostly stock with some minor twists, such as polished covers on the all black engine.

I got my temps renewed to enable me to drive my bikes legally until my road test in May.

have polished the instrument panel on my cbx
have polished all black alu parts..like front forks ,brake calibers ,engine parts..instrument faces..and put a crome front fender instead that plastic type..

first idea vas a classic cb 1100..but that have not kaburetores,,and looks to new...så bayed a old cbx..and vill build a cb 750 seat and rear krome fender light..and all that old stuff on..to make a real klassic super bike..with orginal honda parts only...
but have dropped that idea..like the cbx as it are..just.. fantastic a mix of old cb and the 4 valve head engine...simpel and advansed at same time

Sweet!

I didn't know that CBX instrument panels look that good.

Hmmm - might work on a VFR streetfighter...

I absolutely without a doubt think the cbx is the bee's knee's. It's got to be the most striking motorcycle, road bike, I've ever seen. All that motor up front has a very big presence. You lucky sob

any pics of the whole bike?
